Stones and foden in for Ake and grealish

Good suggestions yes.

 

[CityBluez]

Start foden and Alvarez with haaland . Substitute mahrez and grealish later. Get stones in for ake/dias. Also Bernardo needs to play higher on the pitch

How can you drop Ake though, he did nothing wrong.

I don't think he did anything wrong but Dias plays better with stones.
If stones played today, Dias wouldn't have made the mistakes leading to goals.

I am not the manager but I think it is unfair to say Dias made mistakes because of he wasn’t playing with stones. He made mistakes that is the end of it.

So is it stones that is holding dias’s hand?

It is what it is, don’t really care that much about what happens, hopefully we win and Haaland scores.

Some players have better understanding with each other. We took advantage of that previous to last season. And if that understanding is still there we should take advantage of that in this season

I hope he starts Foden and Alvarez instead of Grealish and Mahrez.

I think they played themselves in to the starting eleven. Just need Stones to replace Ake so we can get some good build up from the back.
